Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Dad's (Product Placement) Omelet

My parents stand firmly behind this blogging thing I'm attempting. Before I left their house on Saturday, Mom said, "You need to take a picture of Dad's omelet!" I agreed, with the caveat that I then needed the recipe, so I could feature the omelet on Monday's (today's) blog post.

Before Dad gave me the recipe, he said that the omelet pan is also important, and I needed to take a photo of the pan. So, if you have a cast-iron pan that looks like this, you're good to go:

Dad began reciting the recipe:

1/2 cup Better Than Eggs1 stick cheese--At this point, Mom rushed to the refrigerator to elaborate--1 stick Frigo Light String Mozzarella Cheese1 handful of diced mushroom slices(Now Dad caught the vision of specificity, at least in product placement)whole bunch of Kirkland's Organic No-Salt SeasoningWinco's Non-Stick Olive Oil Cooking SprayAnything else you'd like to add--salmon, in this specific omelet; bacon and sharp cheddar cheese, if you can get away with it

Spray the pan with the cooking spray, and preheat the pan at medium-high heat (#6 on my parents' electric stove).

Pour the eggs in, and with a fork, pull the eggs toward the center of the pan, swirling the pan as you go.

Put the toppings on.

Cook it.

I was allowed to taste-test the final product, and I gave it 2 thumbs up.

Thanks for supportive parents, and yummy omelets.

The omelet making skill is a great one to have. In college, I had a job in the dining hall. On Saturday mornings I was the omelet maker. Because of it, I can now totally impress my kids with the flipping of the egg by tossing it in the air.Your parents are just plain enjoyable.

1. I'm thankful for cooperative return policies. Several weeks ago, I mentioned that I had to return a range that I had purchased, and I hoped that the particular range was just a lemon and that the replacement wouldn't have the same problem. Well, unfortunately, it did. On the bright side, the store quickly picked up the second range and refunded my money. I'm putting appliance purchases on the back burner (!) for the moment.

2. I'm thankful for temples. I went one morning this week to the temple. I'm always amazed at how much insight comes in just an hour or two of reflection.

3. I'm thankful for my sister. She and her family came to Utah to spend Thanksgiving with her in-laws, and I got a chance to see her and her family on Wednesday. The last time I saw her was in January at our grandma's 100th birthday celebration. We feel lucky to have two visits in one year!

Me in a Nutshell

In the summer of 2018, after 29 years of raising children, my husband and I (as he puts it) "finally grew up and moved out on our own." I loved those years, but I also love the empty-nest adventure. No matter what your stage of life, I invite you to join me in living life with a thankful heart.
